Full description for Rewriting Early Chinese Texts
Rewriting Early Chinese Texts examines the problems of reconstructing and editing ancient manuscripts that will revise - indeed "rewrite" - Chinese history. It is now generally recognized that the extensive archaeological discoveries made in China over the last three decades necessitate such a rewriting and will keep an array of scholars busy for years to come.

Shaughnessy explores the issues involved in editing manuscripts, rewriting them, both today and in the past.
